# Knee Protector

<!-- CONTEXT: Article Content for "Knee Protector" -->

## Article Content

[Knee protectors](/en/detay/diz-koruyucu-a7b02/llms.txt) are personal protective equipment (PPE) used to shield the knee joints of individuals working in tasks that require kneeling, particularly against mechanical impacts. For workers in sectors such as construction, tile installation, cleaning, and maintenance, knee protectors are essential in terms of both [occupational safety](/en/detay/occupational-health-and-safety-week-0c09f/llms.txt) and [ergonomics](/en/detay/ergonomi-2/llms.txt).

### **Definition and Features**

Knee protectors are typically made from materials such as elastic fabric, foam, gel, or hard plastic and may include the following features:

- **Impact-Absorbing Padding**: Reduces pressure on the knee, providing comfort.
- **Hard Outer Shell**: Offers protection against sharp and hard surfaces.
- **Adjustable Straps**: Accommodate different leg sizes and prevent slipping.
- **Breathable Material**: Minimizes sweating during prolonged use.

Some knee protectors are designed to be inserted into knee pad pockets of work trousers.

### **Standards and Regulations**

The production and use of knee protectors are governed by international standards:

- **EN 14404**: Specifies performance requirements and test methods for knee protectors.
- **EN ISO 13688**: Covers general requirements for protective clothing.

In Türkiye, the *Personal Protective Equipment Handbook* published by the Ministry of Labour and Social Security provides guidance on the use of knee protectors in workplaces.
